House Democrats sue over restrictions on visits to immigration facilities

House Democrats are suing the Department of Homeland Security over a new policy restricting lawmaker visits to immigration facilities. The lawsuit challenges a January 8th memorandum from Secretary Kristi Noem requiring seven days' notice for facility visits, which Democrats argue is a renewed attempt to block congressional oversight. This action follows a previous successful lawsuit by Democrats against a similar DHS policy and comes after lawmakers were denied access to a facility following a shooting incident.
